King of Sports 73 Tang Yan vs Zhou Junhua 2

A handshake isn't much of an option when you have 10 ounces of leather on your paws, so boxers touch gloves at the beginning of fights in a display of sportsmanship.

It was common practice to separate and give time to adjust by backing to your own corner.

However, Zhou Junhua's attack right away didn't give Tang Yan time to adjust.

Tang Yan barely had time to react, he could only block hastily with his hand.

With a bang, his arm trembled and he stepped back in panic.

Seeing that Tang Yan was tricked by Zhou Junhua, several fighters watching on the sidelines couldn't help but shake their heads.

Zhou Junhua's approach wasn't honorable, but Tang Yan showed his lack of experience. This round was likely to end with Zhou Junhua's victory they thought.

Because of the lack of specialized strength and resistance training, Tang Yan was weak defensively, which is why he chose to retreat when he couldn't dodge.

But after retreating back, he was furious. So much for a respectable elder.

His right foot slammed on the ground and his whole person rushed forward.

His speed was very fast, Zhou Junhua had just got in position, when he saw the punch launched by Tang Yan.

He responded quickly, getting in a defensive posture with both his hands up and his footwork changed simultaneously to prepare for the punch.

Judging from his reaction, he wasn't only experienced, but also had an obvious understanding of Tang Yan, knowing that his punch would be very heavy.

"Boom!"

Tang Yan's right hook was directly blocked by the arms of Zhou Junhua.

He punched with not only his strength but also his inner anger.

Zhou Junhua had already made all the preparations for the attack, but when Tang Yan's punch hit him, he discovered a deadly thing.

He completely underestimated the power of Tang Yan.

The moment it hit him, he felt like he was hit by a car, his arm was numb,

Driven to frenzy Tang Yan tore loose and shot a right swing to his body as a follow up. But Zhou Junhua instantly dropped his arms and blocked his blow.

Zhou Junhua came back with a slashing left hook toward his body and Tang Yan shifted back to avoid it.

Tang Yan continued forward and lurched to the right but then shifted to the left after Zhou Junhua moved along with him. He rushed in, ripped a right hook towards him, Zhuo Junhua tilted his head and was only caught on the ear.

Tang Yan came with a combo: with a venomous right under the heart, he ducked Zhou Junhu's left swing and jabbed him three times on the nose in quick succession.

He didn't have the opportunity to react.

Tang Yan whirled up for a right hook but Zhou Junhua hurtled forward and tied him up, hugging him.

Under this hug, Tang Yan had no space to punch.

At this moment, the referee ran to the side of the two and then signaled the two to separate.

Tang Yan brows wrinkled up.

After this Tang Yan quickly rushed forward and at close quarters they traded short arm rights and lefts to the body, Zhou Junhua was the first to back away.

Tang Yan was right on top of him and instantly ripped in a right uppercut that loosened a bunch of his teeth and backed him into the ropes with a perfect whirlwind of left and right hooks to the head.

Zhou Junhua blocked a few times, but he quickly couldn't stand it.

At this time, Tang Yan was in the zone, fired up.

Zhou Junhua was on the back-foot.

Such absolute suppression also attracted a burst of cheers from the boxers. Although Zhou Junhua's reputation in the boxing world was far greater than that of Tang Yan, the sneak attack at the beginning didn't win him any good will.

Zhou Junhua suddenly opened up and wrapped up Tang Yan again as he was preparing to launch a left hook.

Zhou Junhua clinched up and Tang Yan was tightly wrapped up.

There was a buzz in the audience.

There was frustration clear on their faces.

However, Zhou Junhua didn't seem to care about the reactions of others, and still continued clinching to him.

"Separate you two!"

"Ding. Ding"

As the two began to separate the sideline staff rang the bell.

There went the first round.

In this way, Zhou Junhua actually managed to withstand a round.

Tang Yan glared at Zhou Junhua, his heart was filled with frustration.

This Zhou Junhua was really frustrating to the extreme.

Going to his corner of the ring, Liu Lianglong gave him an ice pack and said, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm good, he's just frustrating to fight against." Tang Yan said firmly.

"Yeah, he's a sly one. Try to slow down the pace and wait for an opportunity. Just work him around. And when he tries to close in and clinch, step back and hit him with a few jabs." Liu Lianglong said.

Tang Yan turned to look at Liu Lianglong and nodded.

.....

"Ding. Ding"

The second round began.

"Tang Yan, you've got this!" There were several boxers cheering for Tang Yan.

After the referee indicated that the second round could begin, Tang Yan stepped forward and followed up with two consecutive jabs.

Zhou Junhua still took on his previous tactic of blocking and retreating.

His strategy was actually very simple, that is, to do everything possible to resist Tang Yan's offense, to consume Tang Yan's physical strength, so that he had room to possibly counterattack in the fourth round.

This move had worked in the previous two rounds and helped him to reach the semi-finals.

Tang Yan was continuously attacking and pressuring him.

Zhou Junhua continued to block, but soon he found something wrong.

After the second round began, Tang Yan had slowed down and just used light jabs. Seemingly slowing his speed down and conserving energy.

After hardly any action, he felt that he could no longer hold back. He grit his teeth and stepped forward to close the distance with Tang Yan. Then he stepped forward with his right side and launched a right hook.

But at this moment, Tang Yan's mouth showed a faint smile.

He was waiting for this!

He didn't retreat, but quickly approached, within the scope of Zhou Junhua's fist.

Slipping under his punch, he sent a right hook straight towards Zhou Junhua stomach.
